I don't have an Optigan 4 sale...

Wooden Gear Racks - Where to buy like these?

Does anyone know if the wooden racks shown on this book cover (Modern Recording Techniques by David Miles Huber) are available to purchase? http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0240806255/ref=sib_dp_pt/104-4709842-6218302#reader-link Maybe they're custom built but I like the idea of movable/stackable gea...
